I can't stand this feeling of loneliness...people think I have so many friends because I put on a face of confidence to mask my inner demons, when in reality, I have no one. I'm sick of being the life of the party, pretending I've got everything going for me only to go home alone...

and insecurities, I need support because my friends and family don't seem to understand. I just want to make connections, I want to get out there and really LIVE, but it's so hard because I'm really shy.

and feelings of inadequacy. In the past it has cost me so many friendships and relationships, and I've never had any constant connection with someone I can trust and open up to. I am aware of how unpleasant it can be to speak with someone in my state, especially for a stranger...

I want a friend that will listen to me and talk to me. I want to be able to tell that person a problem and will trust them when I say Don't tell anyone. I want someone who will not tell my parents or my brother or other people secrets and problems. Hey, maybe it doesn't even have...

that it's the perfect opportunity to find friends and feel accepted. I've been through a lot in my life and feel like I have a hard time trusting people and letting them in. It gets extremely frustrating because when I do, no one understands. Everyone here drinks all the time...

I find myself so wrapped up with trying to figure out who I am and what I want out of life. That I push people out of my life by not reaching out to them. When they reach out to me I am more than happy and willing to respond and interact. Its just that I don't reach out to them...

I need someone I can laugh with. Someone I can share with. I don't want to be judged and I don't judge anyone else. But everybody needs at least somebody they can laugh, cry, vent, and be silly with. They can be who they are and feel comfortable about being open.
I want that and...

After one gets over oneself... Dismiss the huge amount of red tape! Be it religion, society or politics...is the truth! Somewhere! I am a Seeker of the Light & the Truth...finding other people that will speak frankly & honestly IS a blessing! There are so many kiss ***** or liars...

I used to have a lot of friends. My overbearing controlling husband has scared most of them off. I am lonely a lot so I join these web sites for friends. People I can talk to about anything and everything that is on my mind.

Looking for that special someone? Wishing you could change the person you’re with? You may need to start by taking a good long look in the mirror. Many books on relationships will tell you how to find and keep the right person, how to develop your...

I have been going through a dark time in my life but whenever I try to have a real conversation with my friends they start talking about themselves. They won't even respond to what I say they act like they don't hear me or something. The thing is I always listen and hear what...

that you can talk about anything to them and they'll understand you. Well for me I don't have a best friend and I never really had one. I wish I had a friend that I can talk to them openly about anything. That would be very nice.

I need someone who I can talk to openly. It's not that I don't have friends I do I just don't have anyone that I can really talk too and I'm pushing every one away as I find it hard to trust anyone at all! The people around me are just selfish, I'm a kind caring generous person...

I had just found out my husband of 30 years was sharing pictures of me with another male coworker. He took the pictures of me behind my back and then sent them to his coworker while on vacation. I just recently discovered this while I was on Facebook, I somehow came across the...

I like reading stories, and I like looking at other people's profiles and pictures and everything that EP is all about. But when I enjoy it the most is when I interact with other people who share my interests.
I am the most approachable person on earth. : ) I will talk openly...

As I walk the street I feel like people ignore me. Never say a word not even a whisper. I sit down and stare like no even know I'm there. I say to myself I guess there always going to be me. Because no one around can the lonely man in their big world

but I'm a loner, I have no one to talk to as last year my best friend of 10 years stabbed me in the back again. Friends we shared together all slowly drift to her and I never get much of a peep from them, its hard to trust because of it but I am really looking for someone to be...

seen with or bothers associating with. Yes, I'm a very kind human being, but I know that's not enough.
Being ugly and shy has caused me to miss out on a lot of normal experiences growing up, for that reason my maturity might seem stunned. I haven't really dated... Gone partying...

and we hung out from time to time. At about our 3rd hangout (not gym), he wanted me to stalk a girl with him. We just waited outside the store where the girl works and see whether her boyfriend comes to pick her up. NOTE: he met the girl for a few days and says he is madly in...

I have come to realize that friends are far and few. I, by nature, am a giver. I believe in the happiness of others and I think nothing is wrong with that....except when the others don't aren't willing to do the same for you. I use to take long journeys to visit friends no matter...

even the ones I wasn't close with. I sit in this caffateria at the college and I realize we used to all hang out here and study together and laugh. Now I sit alone in the corner studying by myself and it makes me want to cry. Maybe they didn't change maybe I did... I want friends...

It hurts to know that if you get hurt, no one will help you get through the pain. There's only you and darkness. It's the same way nobody cares about me: here at home, at school, and in the neighborhood. They would only approach me if they need me.
